Joan Semanda Kizza, the PR and Communications Manager for Multichoice Uganda making the announcement
MultiChoice Uganda has announced the new increased prices of its bouquets and its premium package on Dstv and GOtv next month.
The increased prices start as early as next month. However, while explaining to its client, Multi Choice Uganda reveals that the increment in fees is due worsening economic conditions and a peak in inflation rates in the country.
While making the announcement to the media, Joan Semanda Kizza, the PR and Communications Manager for Multichoice Uganda said, “To continue serving the same quality of entertainment, effective September 1st, 2022, Multichoice Uganda will adjust the price of our DStv and GOtv packages in line with the current market conditions.”
“We have considered the rate of consumer inflation and current economic pressures facing Uganda when considering our price adjustments. In addition, we have taken into consideration the Bank of Uganda (BOU) inflation outlook attributed to the weakening of the Uganda shilling against the US dollar, coupled with the rising cost of energy given the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war,” she added.
“MultiChoice Uganda is aware that its customers, are subject to pressure. In this regard, MultiChoice has endeavoured to ensure that price increases are as low as possible, while ensuring that we offer our customers the best quality service. MultiChoice will continue to provide unparalleled access to entertainment that is accessible to the greatest possible number of Ugandans, presenting content of the best possible quality anywhere, anytime, and at the most affordable price.”
